CHAPTER 41
Victoria scoffed, her gaze dripping with contempt. “You should be happy that, at least finally, your daughter will finally be useful.”Adrian quickly stepped forward, bowing slightly to Darren. “Forgive her, Lord Darren. She’s just being foolish. I promise she will be ready and waiting for you tonight.”Darren smirked, nodding approvingly at Adrian. "Well done. You’ve proven your loyalty to the Warlord. When he arrives, I will make sure he knows of your devotion."Adrian’s chest swelled with pride as he bowed slightly. "I am honored, Darren."But before he could bask in his moment, Lance’s voice cut through the air like a blade. "How dare you talk about my daughter like that?"Adrian’s expression twisted with fury. "You worthless deserter!" he spat. "Do you even know who you’re speaking to?"Victoria scoffed, her eyes filled with disdain. "Do you have any idea how powerful the Warlord is? His right-hand man alone can execute you on the spot. If I were you, I’d kneel and thank him for
CHAPTER 42
Lance’s voice was cold and final. "If you want death, I’ll grant it."His boot lashed out.CRACK!Sophia’s knee buckled as she collapsed, pain shooting through her leg. Her scream echoed through the hall as she hit the floor. Before she could recover, Lance pressed his boot against the back of her head, shoving her face into the marble."AHHH!" she shrieked, struggling in vain."SOPHIA, NO!" Adrian bellowed, his voice breaking. He dragged himself forward, blood dripping from his lips, his eyes blazing with fury and desperation. "Lance, how dare you humiliate her like that?!"Lance didn’t spare him a glance. His foot pressed down harder.Sophia's muffled screams filled the air as she struggled beneath Lance's boot, her face pressed against the cold marble floor. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she clawed desperately at the ground."Adrian! Help me!" she sobbed, her voice laced with desperation.Adrian's hands trembled, his body frozen in place. He wanted to rush forward, to tear Lanc
CHAPTER 43
Adrian staggered forward, his voice rising in desperation. "Wait! The wedding isn't over! You can't just leave!"Some guests hesitated, exchanging uneasy glances, but most continued toward the exit, their loyalty shattered. A few turned back reluctantly, yet the vast hall still felt eerily empty compared to mere moments ago.Adrian's breathing grew ragged as he turned to Lance, eyes wild with confusion and fury. "Did you do this? But how?! You're just a deserter!"Lance took a step forward, his smirk deepening. "This is just the beginning."Victoria, still reeling from the chaos, clenched her fists. "This can't be happening! The investment from the Warlord was supposed to make us soar! Why is this happening to us?!"Adrian swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain composed. "Don't lose hope yet. This has to be a misunderstanding. Even if this deserter managed to pull this stunt, we still have the Warlord's backing."He turned to Darren, his voice sharp. "Deal with them! These people a
CHAPTER 44
Victoria, emboldened, turned to Lance, her expression twisted with contempt. “Have you no shame? Hiding behind a woman? Letting her fight for you?” She shot Darren a glance. “Both of them deserve to be executed.”Adrian’s lips curled into a smirk as he crossed his arms. “Lance, get on your knees. Your only backing is powerless before the Warlord.”Darren’s eyes gleamed with sadistic pleasure as he locked onto Lance. “I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel and beg for mercy, or I’ll cut you down where you stand.” Then his gaze flickered to Selene, his grin turning lecherous. “And you... such a beautiful woman. Join the deserter’s daughter in my bed tonight, and maybe I’ll beg the Warlord to spare your life.”“Enough!” Evelyn’s cry of frustration rang through the hall as she stepped forward, tears brimming in her eyes. “Leave our family alone! We have done nothing wrong!”Darren barely spared her a glance before shoving her aside. She stumbled, gasping as she hit the floor. In one fluid m
CHAPTER 45
Darren’s agonized screams echoed through the grand hall as he clutched the bloody stump where his hand had once been. His face twisted in sheer agony, veins bulging from his neck as he roared, “What are you waiting for?! Kill him! Kill him now!”But the soldiers remained frozen in place, their grips tightening on their weapons, but not a single one dared to step forward. Their eyes darted between Darren writhing in pain and Lance standing tall, unfazed, his presence emanating overwhelming authority. The hesitation in their stance deepened when Selene took a step forward; The Astra Blade still pointed at them.“Move, and you die.” Her voice rang with chilling finality.“Elite guards!!!” Selene called out.At her command, the grand doors burst open. In a flash of disciplined precision, a squad of soldiers dressed in sleek black uniforms stormed inside.The Elite Guards—the highest-ranking warriors handpicked by the GENERAL himself.A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The moment
CHAPTER 46
Ashley’s eyes flashed with fury. She tore herself from her mother’s grip and strode forward, her voice sharp as a blade. “Seduce your man?” she spat. “Weren’t you the one who seduced Adrian? I was married to him first!” Her lips curled in disgust. “I’m done with both of you. You can have him. You deserve each other.”Sophia’s face twisted in rage. “How dare you—” Her hand shot up, poised to strike Ashley across the face.But before the blow could land, a powerful hand caught her wrist in midair.It was Lance.Lance’s grip tightened around Sophia’s wrist, his voice calm but laced with menace. “I already gave you a chance,” he said, his piercing gaze locking onto hers. “But it seems you have a death wish and I will grant it to you.”Sophia yanked her arm free, her lips curling into a smirk. “A death wish?” she scoffed, her eyes gleaming with cruel amusement. “Are you not tired of the pretense? The Warlord will be here any moment." "What makes you think I will be scared of someone who’s
CHAPTER 47
Darren fell to his knees, his voice desperate. “Warlord, avenge me! I lost my arm because of him!”Adrian’s voice rose with conviction. “You are the only Warlord in Prescott! You have led and won countless battles. One word from you, and these losers will be executed! Do it! Let them serve as a warning to others!”Victoria’s mocking laughter filled the hall.“Lance, where did all that confidence go?” She taunted. “I thought you could fight! "Why don’t you show us your strength now?”Her eyes gleamed with wicked delight as she turned to Selene.“You might have used your influence to try and bring us down, but one word from the Warlord, and we will rise to the top!”Sophia stepped forward, her voice sharp and venomous. “Warlord! That girl" she pointed at Ashley""Is his daughter. She is nothing but a prostitute who tried to seduce my husband! She must be dealt with immediately!”Evelyn’s eyes burned with fury as she rushed forward. “Lies! We only came to see our daughter, yet you are al
CHAPTER 48
Selene turned to her, a proud smirk gracing her lips. "Yes, Ashley. Your father is not a deserter. He is a hero."The Warlord, still on his knees, clenched his fists. His voice, though steady, carried deep shame."General, I have failed you. It is my fault for not disciplining my subordinates. That is why they had the audacity to disrespect you. Please, punish me. I will accept whatever punishment you deem fit."The room held its breath as Lance's cold, calculating gaze bore into the Warlord. Then, in a tone that sent shivers through the hall, he spoke."You have served in the army for years. And you admit your mistake." "I will not execute you." His voice turned razor-sharp. "But you are hereby stripped of your position as Warlord. If something like this ever happens again… I will not be so merciful."The Warlord did not protest. Instead, he bowed his head, slamming it against the marble floor with force."Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"The weight of the moment crushed ever
CHAPTER 49
Ashley looked down at them, her expression devoid of sympathy. Her once kind eyes were now cold and unforgiving. A slow smirk crept onto her lips as she tilted her head, watching the very people who had trampled on her dignity now grovel at her feet."You both deserve what’s coming to you." She said without any form of pity.Silence fell once more.The end had arrived for them.And no one would save them now.Lance’s gaze darkened as he turned to Jordan. His voice was steady, cold, and final.“You know what to do.”Jordan didn’t hesitate. “Yes, General.”With a swift motion, he raised his hand, signaling the Elite Guards. “Take them away. Now.”The elite guards surged forward.Adrian’s face twisted in sheer panic as strong hands seized his arms. He thrashed violently, his cries echoing through the grand hall.“No! No! General, please! Mercy! Mercy! I beg you!” His voice cracked with desperation as he struggled, but the Elite Guards were merciless.Sophia’s shriek of horror followed. “
CHAPTER 50
Lance clenched his jaw. His fingers tightened around the phone.A soft touch on his arm made him turn. Evelyn was awake, her eyes searching his face. She had heard enough to know what was happening.“Lance, no,” she whispered, shaking her head. “You're retired... You don't need to do this.”He cupped her cheek gently. “Evelyn, I have to do this.”“No, you don’t,” she pleaded, her grip on his wrist tightening. “You promised me. You promised us.”His heart twisted at the fear in her eyes, but he could not ignore the duty calling him. “I made another promise long ago—to protect those who cannot protect themselves.”Evelyn closed her eyes, a tear slipping down her cheek. She knew that look in his eyes. There was no going back, Lance had already made up his mind.Lance turned back to the phone. “Mr. President, I’m on my way.”As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung out of bed, grabbing his gear. The moment he stepped into the hallway, his men were already waiting. Selene saluted him.
